Boston-based Chris Hood leads the white supremacist, neo-Nazi group 'Nationalist Socialist Club' (NSC, also referred to as the '131'). Founded in 2019, NSC's primary focus was Boston but has since expanded to all of New England under Hood's leadership. Its influence now stretches to Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, and Rhode Island.
Hood joined the Northeast USA Proud Boys in 2017 and served as admin for their Facebook group. He then joined the Patriot Front and attended a number of Resist Marxism actions. In 2019 Hood was arrested while in possession of a dangerous weapon for his involvement in hanging racist fliers in East Boston, along with two other Patriot Front members. After getting thrown out of Patriot Front for allegedly stealing money from them to purchase marijuana Hood joined The Base, a dangerous neo-Nazi accelerationist group. Three members of The Base were arrested in Georgia for planning the murder of a couple that they believed to be antifascist activists. Hood left The Base and subsequently founded NSC.
